Chapter 1 The era name is orthodox

October 23rd.

Diligent Palace.

Zhao Yu was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, sitting on the dragon chair, with a solemn expression.

Prime Minister Cai Cheng stood on the jade steps and read out the edict.

"I was ordered by the emperor to die in the world for three years out of forty......

The prince Zhao Yucunxian is close to the saint, that is, he obeys the canonical system, and he is released for 36 days, and he should ascend to the throne......

Princes and vassal kings are not allowed to leave without permission. Internal and external civil and military, concentric auxiliary government. Local governors, fulfill their duties. Soldiers from all over the world are exempt from incense......

Tell the world, make the salty make it hear! ”

Prime Minister Cai Cheng was speaking sharply, his voice was subdued, and after reciting, he closed the holy decree and retreated from the hall to bow three times and bow nine times.

"Greetings to Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!"

Clansmen, officials, and nobles followed, and three shouts of long live.

"Zhong Aiqing is flat."

Zhao Yu bowed slightly, his gaze swept over the hundred officials, and finally fell on Prime Minister Cai Cheng: "My father often praises Cai Aiqing for his profound knowledge and Feng Cailuanzhang, so how about Aiqing give me an era name?" ”

The matter of the year name has been discussed last night, Prime Minister Cai Cheng pretended to be pondering, bowed down and said.

"Your Majesty, the vast light is right, the three outlines and five constants are the unification, how about taking the era name orthodox?"

"Very good!"

The orthodox emperor stroked his palms and exclaimed: "Then I will take the name of the year, orthodox." ”

Since then, there has been no Zhao Yu in the world, only the orthodox emperor sitting on the dragon chair.

Su Mingyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, lowered his eyes, and the name system of the Great Qiannian was set by Taizu, which accompanied the emperor throughout his life, and even after his death, it was recorded as a certain emperor.

Therefore, the era name is of extraordinary significance, and it is impossible to choose a random name.

"As the saying goes, what is lacking is made up, the louder you scream, the more you care about it......"

Su Mingyuan's mind turned rapidly, and he had already guessed that Xinjun was taboo, and he would deliberately avoid doing things, playing sparsely, and speaking in the future, and he could also use this to attack political opponents.

The accession to the throne of the Qinzheng Hall is only the first step in the official enthronement.

At this time, it was still the forty-third year of the establishment of the military, and the orthodox emperor was nominally only a "temporary" emperor.

The next step is to keep filial piety for three years, and the Son of Heaven changes the day for the month, but in fact, he keeps filial piety for thirty-six days.

After the end of filial piety, the Ministry of Rites chose a day to hold an enthronement ceremony, worship heaven and earth, ancestral halls, and accept the kneeling of civil and military officials, before officially ascending the throne as emperor.

Finally, the new king issued the first decree to the world.

Usually, a general amnesty will be announced in the holy decree to show that the new monarch will rule the country with benevolence and virtue, so as to appease the people.

……

November 10.

Bark Day.

The deceased should rest in peace, and it is advisable to break the ground and bury them.

……

The sky was bright.

Li Ping'an changed into mourning clothes, held his hands and shrunk his neck, and came to the east gate of the palace early.

The nail of the east door is a yin number, the folk commonly call this door "ghost door", every time a big man dies in the palace, the coffin and the funeral procession are all out from here.

A few days ago, Sun Fu Yin issued an order that in order to show the loyalty of the yamen, all the officials must see off the first emperor.

The cry must be loud and the tears must be plentiful!

Whoever doesn't come, who is disloyal and unfilial, and some of them wear small shoes afterwards.

"Lao Sun, this guy was in the Yushitai before, it is said that he is honest and honest, and he hates the person who slaps the horse the most, how did he change to the Beijing Ya, and the whole person has changed?"

Li Ping'an complained from the bottom of his heart, sure enough, the people who are big officials are all actors.

I found an inconspicuous street corner, and when the time came, I pretended to cry a few times, and in order to avoid crying out of tears, I deliberately hid garlic cloves in the cuffs.

After waiting for a long time, I didn't see the hearse, shrunk into the corner of the wall and dozed off, and suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Peace, it's early!"

It was Shi San who spoke, wearing a linen mourning dress and a filial piety hat, just about to make a long flag.

Of course, His Majesty's funeral has dragon sons and dragon grandchildren, and the common people are not qualified, otherwise Shi San doesn't mind being a little more conspicuous.

Li Ping'an was surprised: "Third uncle, your dress is exaggerated!" ”

"What is this?"

Shi San lowered his voice: "There have been a lot of vacancies in the prison in the past six months, Sun Fuyin said, whoever is loyal to His Majesty will be promoted, and we have to send His Majesty with the attitude of sending away his father!" ”

"It's right to want to improve......

Li Ping'an's voice changed: "However, don't let Uncle Shi hear this." ”

"Progress!"

Shi San smacked his lips, and the more he pondered it, the more he felt that this word was mysterious, and nodded again and again: "Ping'an, I want to improve so much!" ”

The two of them talked without a match, and then a few more officials came.

There are jailers, mortuaries and scribes, who come together to share the experience of crying and mourning, ginger and garlic cloves are all small paths, and there are a few Xu officials who are proficient in silent tears, low sobbing, and howling......

That sad appearance, the people who saw it really thought that their father was dead.

Li Ping'an listened with relish and learned a lot of useful skills, which may be used in the future.

The sky gradually brightened, and more and more people gathered outside the east gate.

Standing in the front row were the officials of the various yamen, and in the back row stood a large number of ordinary people, the former was asking for something to show their loyalty, and the latter was really loyal.

Emperor Jianwu was not the Holy Lord of the Ming Dynasty, and he had done a lot of wrong and absurd things, but he restored the orthodoxy of the Great Qian, was diligent in political affairs during his reign, and did not dare to violate the border of the barbarians in northern Xinjiang for decades.

In his later years, he also killed countless corrupt officials, and the blood in the vegetable market has not dried up so far.

When the common people saw winning battles, protecting the country, and killing corrupt officials, they thought that Emperor Jianwu was a good emperor.

As for the reason for killing corrupt officials, whether it is a corrupt official or not, the common people do not know, do not know, do not know, and do not care.

Around the clock.

Melodious bells rang out from the palace, the closed east gate slowly opened, and solemn music came out.

The forbidden army took the lead in coming out to guard the clear road, and then hundreds of people came out, including the clan holding the umbrella of the people, and the dragon son and grandson holding the coffin.

Stretching for three or four miles, it is mighty and majestic!

The new monarch walked in front of the coffin with a long banner with a solemn expression, and turned back and bowed from time to time.

The attention of the accompanying clan and hundreds of officials was all on the orthodox emperor, and when they saw the emperor kneeling, they knelt down in a large area.

At this time, the reaction was slow, standing out from the crowd, and I couldn't eat and walk around afterwards.

The officials and people outside the east gate fell to their knees when the door was opened, and let out an overwhelming cry.

A few people are sincere, a few people are fake, no one understands!

Li Ping'an knelt in the crowd, did not squeeze the first row to make a conspicuous bag, pinched and crushed garlic cloves and wiped them on the circles under his eyes, tears flowed in a hurry, and he couldn't stop it.

The people next to him wept loudly, very sad, but they didn't shed a few tears.

When I cried to the point of convulsions, I noticed Li Ping'an who was in tears, and I couldn't help but admire, sure enough, the official master was more loyal and patriotic, and our people couldn't compare!

It's almost noon.

The funeral procession just walked out of the east city gate, and the people who accompanied the funeral scattered in all directions.

Li Ping'an took off his mourning clothes, ate a bowl of porridge when passing by the restaurant, and ate half a cage of steamed buns before he was half full, and there was no trace of meat.

During the national mourning, it is forbidden to eat alcohol and meat.

If one person dies, the world will keep filial piety.

"It's going to be more than thirty days."

Li Ping'an's mouth faded out of a bird, refining martial arts requires oil and water, and just relying on steamed bread and rice is not hungry at all.

Really.

returned to the mortuary and practiced the eagle claw gong a few times, and his stomach was faintly hungry.

I had no choice but to cook a pot of meat porridge and eat it, lying on the leisure chair and reciting the Taoist scriptures.

It's a little worse to go to the Taoist exam, and it's no problem to be a traveling Taoist priest.

"In the future, traveling the world, helping people to see feng shui and funerals is also a good way to earn merit."

……

December 16.

The new emperor held an enthronement ceremony.

The Orthodox Emperor issued an amnesty to the world and was exempt from tax for one year.

The first emperor repeatedly made major cases and confiscated hundreds of officials' family properties, and the thousand-year-old accumulation of several of them almost filled the treasury and internal treasury.

The people of Daqian shouted long live, and felt that a better day was coming.
